[Three rebirths + younger male lead forbidden love + second male lead’s long road to winning her back]
Two jokes are widely repeated throughout Chang’an:
The famously cold, woman-averse Lord of the Imperial City Bureau has his eye on another man’s wife.
The newly crowned top scholar cast off his wife as if she were nothing, but after their divorce, the Lord of the Imperial City Bureau dotes on her to no end.
**
The good news: Gu Nanxiang has been reborn.
The bad news: The scholar husband from her past life was reborn even earlier than she was. He has already passed the imperial exams and become the top scholar, and they have both been reborn after getting married.
In her previous life, Gu Nanxiang was married to Pei Mingchuan for decades and spent half her life in poverty.
Because of their difference in family backgrounds, she endured her mother-in-law’s scorn and her sister-in-law’s bullying.
She was careful and diligent, doing her best to be a good daughter-in-law and sister-in-law, and spent years caring for the entire Pei family, but never earned the slightest bit of affection from them.
In this life, Gu Nanxiang refuses to waste her whole life again.
She resolves to divorce Pei Mingchuan, only to find that the husband who ignored her for years has begun showing her affection again.
He would rather let her have an affair than divorce her...
Content warnings:
The divorce takes a long time, with plenty of everyday family squabbles.
The heroine is not a virgin, but the hero is, and he becomes the other man.
